Before you submit anything to us, be sure you've read and agreed to our Subscirber and Member agreement.

For submitting videos to ridebmx.com:
It's pretty obvious that we've been posting a ton of YouTube and Vimeo videos on the site lately, so there is no reason why your video can't get on the site too. The only thing is, it has to be good enough. If your video isn't on par with what we typically post, please don't bother sending it in. Sure we are psyched that you are 12 and learned to 180, but our readers would rather watch a good street mix than you crashing on a curb...

So, if you have a quality video and want to share it with the world simply send an email to fattony@transworld.net with a link to the YouTube or Vimeo link and tell us about yourself and the video. Or if you have a .mov, .mpg, or .wmv file, feel free to email that as well. If you send a link to a .mov file on another site that you have, we will take the file from there and put it into our site but, of course, will credit where the video came from.

For submitting photos to ridebmx.com:
We used to have readers send in random photos one by one and painstakingly sort through them for hours on end, weeding out all the terrible and sub-par photos. Not anymore. We've stepped up the quality of photos we will post on the site and eliminated most of our headaches dealing with reader photos. So from now on, here's how we are going to run things...

We will only take photos if you send enough for a gallery. That means you need to have eight or more quality photos. We are pretty open to what we will post. It doesn't have to be 100% action riding shots, some lifestyle stuff is acceptable, but it does need to be BMX related and the gallery as a whole has to make sense. For example, if you send eight photos of the riders in your area, we may title your gallery a "scene report." Or if you submit eight random photos of your best work, it may be called a "photo portfolio." You may also send photos from an event or trip and have listed it as coverage from the shindig. If you are familiar with this site at all, this should all be making sense by now. If not, you probably shouldn't be sending us anything yet. Keep coming to the site until you get a better feel of what we are about.

So you are ready to send...now what? Follow the instructions below and a few things will happen: your photos will get posted on the world's leading BMX site, you will gain recognition and get your work seen by thousands around the globe, you will get a taste of what it's like to be ultra-famous, and you'll make a friend over here at ridebmx.com. We automatically become friends with people who come through with goods and don't annoy us.

- Set all images to 72dpi and size them to 800px on the largest side.

- Name the file with your name and a number. (Ex: john-doe-01.jpg, john-doe-02.jpg)

- Type out a text document with your name and contact info and captions for the photos. Just start with number one, look at your photo that is named john-doe-01.jpg and type out a caption so we know what is going on in the photo. (Ex: 1 - Jim Bob - Turndown
Jim Bob likes donuts and ice cream a lot and can click a mean turndown on any hip; like this one at his local park in Bum-eff, Arkansas.)

- Email the photos and the text document to fattony@transworld.net. If you really want to impress us, put all the images and text document into a folder and compress it to a zip file. (Right click on the folder, then click "compress.")

Here's a great example of a gallery that Laureano Vallejos sent us from Argentina.

If your photos aren't any good or you can't follow these instructions, you have work to do, so keep at it and we'll talk to you when you have progressed a little. Don't give up! If we can learn to do it, so can you!

Thanks, we look forward to seeing what you send!
